I feel like a little fun and was thinking about the movie that made Mercer House, the Forsythe Fountain, and basically anything else in Savannah, Georgia common knowledge. Not only does Savannah literally drip with great Southern accents the Spanish moss hanging from its trees drip with history. It is my favorite Georgia city.

Even though the book was better (it always is) my husband and I dearly love some of the lines from the movie. However, a word of warning….some of these lines are R-rated…a rare occaision for the content around here.

So, without further ado….13 of the greatest lines from the movie Midnight In the Garden ofGood and Evil:

1. Oh, that Jim Williams went and shot somebody. Canape?

2. This place is fantastic! It’s like Gone With the Wind on mescaline.

3. They walk imaginary pets here, Garland----on a f…ing leash. And they’re heavily armed and drunk. New York is boring.

4. I’m what they call the “nouveau riche”, but then, it’s only the “riche” that counts.

5. To understand the living, you’ve got to commune with the dead.

6. Sport, truth like art, is in the eye of the beholder. You believe what you choose, and I’ll believe what I know.

7. True story and deliciously evil, don’t you think?

8. Livin’ here pisses off all the right people.

9. I never enter the office on Sunday. Ba-a-a-d juju.

10. Two tears in a bucket. MF it.

11. Question: So which conversation shall we join?Answer: The one less likely to involve gunfire.

12. If you’re thirsty, a drink will cure it. If you not, a drink will prevent it. Prevention is better than a cure.

and the very best line of all….

13. Sonny Seiler (the actually owner of the University of Georgia mascot and the attorney for Jim Williams played by actor, Jack Thompson) saying, “GO DAWGS!
